Might not have the ammo. Seems like the most we could offer was a 3rd round pick.

In these situations, I think the trade demand puts the Titans at a huge disadvantage leverage wise. With this coming out a day before the deadline, they know if they can't move him now, they will lose him for nothing at seasons end.

I think he is easily a top 10 TE in the nfl right now.

I'd be very ok with sending a 4th or 5th this year and a conditional 7th round pick next year that could move up to a 3rd or 4th based on stats or a pro bowl birth._________________

Love his skillset. I disagree with you a bit on the "all around TE" part, as Cook is pretty underwhelming as a blocker.

If we determine that this guy isn't a head case, I'd love to get someone like him. One other negative, though, is that he's about to become a free agent, so not only would we have to cough up a draft pick, but we'd also have to shell out the dough for a big contract. At this point, Cook is all potential, so to give a pick and big money might be a bit much._________________Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.It will happen some day.

if he walks we can always get a comp pick for him so we would be totally screwed.

I could see him maybe wanting to play in Cleveland. They need a TE so he will be wanted. This offense would thrive if they had a play making TE and he could fit that role, and Josh Grordan would really open the middle of the field for him. I think Cleveland could be a good place for him
